You can also win the butterfly painting below.  I used Reblev's Venetian medium which contains ground crystal glass. It creates a beautiful texture and brilliant luminosity.  This painting seem to glow from within.  You have to enter before June 15th, the day the winner will be drawn.  Click the painting to enter now!

Still Life show and Passport to the Arts

 "Ruby Crowned Kinglet and Cherries" 10"x10"  oil/panel


Tonight is the opening for a group still life show I am participating in at Sage Creek Gallery in Santa Fe.  I, along with other gallery artists, have several new works available including my "Duet" and "Nest".  I particularly love Kevin Gorges still lifes for the show.  Check out the link to see all the works available:



The opening coincides with Passport to the Arts, the weekend event that takes place on Canyon Road every year in May.  Happenings include special openings and exhibitions, art auctions, demonstrations and live music.  More than 100 artists participate in the events, many of them produce work in the Quick Draw which is later offered in a live auction on the Santa Fe plaza.  Various tents are set up where patrons can visit and watch artists create works of art, it's so exciting!  The list of artists creating work live is amazing, click on the link to see a full list and get more info on this great weekend of art in Santa Fe:
